In short: Purple Patch organise events like no one else - an excellent raceIn full: A super event along the wonderful Grand Union Canal. Tough, muddy with a naughty little slope to overcome at the end in Cassiobury Park. Purple Patch Running Club is a master at organising these off-road events. Criticism - a few more portaloos at the start would have been nice!Date of review: November 14, 2010

In short: Well organised, but very slippery & muddy, narrow in places.In full: The start had a couple of bottlenecks but soon spread out, but the towpath is narrow & only single file in places. Due to recent weather a few stages were extremely swampy, muddy and slippery which made it a tad difficult. Well organised & nice finish & medal.Date of review: November 14, 2010
